Environment
VMware Aria Orchestrator 8.18.x
VMware Aria Automation 8.18.x
Cause
The observed failures happen intermittently.
Some calls to the orchestrator are failing with errors after the license entitlement restriction checks is reported as restricted. The license check in turn has failed due to usage of an expired token used for authentication. After several minutes the expired token is refreshed and the license restriction is lifted resulting in continuing normal operation.
Resolution
-
Run the below command on any one node within the cluster to apply the 'license check system property' and wait for the vco pods to restart.
# vracli vro properties set --key com.vmware.o11n.license.check.automation-endpoint.enabled --value false-
For the embedded Orchestrator this command is run on the Aria Automation Node.
